If octopuses had to wear clothes, they'd probably just wear skirts or kilts instead of pants.

    Many octopodes can change the color and pattern of their skin at will.

    Our clothing and tattoos are but crude facsimiles of their capabilities. Cephalopods have no need of such frivolities.

    Octopuses have 8 arms and no legs. They’d probably wear halter tops.

    England would still force them to change into trousers on the mainland.

    There is no suitable place for an Octopus to wear either pants or a skirt. Octopuses are almost entirely made of face. There is no torso, no waist, no lower body. We call the appendages around the mouth “arms” (not “legs”) but they are more analogous to prehensile whiskers. I think are more likely to wear a cap or headband. A balaclava would be interesting.

    Pants would be a status symbol. Custom tailored, and you have servants to help you out them on.

    They’d wear swimsuits, of course. Who wears skirts or pants in the water?

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
